Letter to the editor: Teachers shouldn't be armed in classrooms

Once again, we have the mass murder of schoolchildren. And, President Trump suggests that the best solution is to have armed teachers in the classrooms. And, yet, we learn that an armed sheriff's deputy was on the scene while the shooting was going on and did nothing.

I can say with certainty that I would not allow any child of mine to attend any school where teachers were allowed to carry concealed weapons.

Fortunately, I don’t have any school-age children, but, I do have a granddaughter that will be in school in a few years. I can only hope that Trump and his fellow scumbags in Congress are gone by then so that we can have meaningful gun reforms in place before she enters first grade.

I own guns and a lot of ammunition, which I purchased to defend my home from the Trumpites attacking my home. I own numerous guns of varying caliber, none of which are an AR-15, although, I am considering buying one to protect myself and my family from wishful dictator Trump's minions.
